Salty Fandom – 5, 6, 20?

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
Not a pairing, no. I tend to ignore most people who run spread their crap but I have to admit there certain trends in certain ships that drive me insane. Like, the way Balthazar and Meg and Jo are treated in some Destiel fics drives me nuts. I tend to go the opposite way, however, and ship those pairings harder when I see Meg or Balth or Jo treated as the asshole ex. 
6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
I haven’t ever *hated* a ship but fandom has definitely made me fonder of Wincest. I think a lot of that has to do with becoming friends with people who ship it getting away from the small minority of assholes who are vicious about their ship and their interpretation of canon events. Early run-ins with those kinds of jerks doesn’t do good things for anyone, but I’m glad I made friends with nicer people. 
20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?
“Pure” is a big ol’ loaded term for me. Like, nothing in this fandom is “pure”. This is a show about professional murderers who just happen to be on the right side of the equation 92% of the time.  
All that aside, though, Saileen is a very good and sweet ship imo. Sam and Eileen are both badasses but they can be super sweet together and I enjoy that. 

Thanks! 

Salty Asks!
